TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel polypeptide having a lactosylceramide β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity and a paragloboside β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity; an agent for synthesizing a sugar chain, which comprises the polypeptide as an active ingredient; a DNA encoding the polypeptide, an agent for detecting inflammation, cancer or tumor metastasis, which comprises the DNA; a recombinant DNA obtainable by inserting the DNA into a vector; a transformant comprising the recombinant DNA; a process for producing the polypeptide using the transformant; a process for producing a sugar chain or complex carbohydrate using the polypeptide; a process for producing a sugar chain or complex carbohydrate using the transformant; a method for detecting inflammation, cancer or tumor metastasis using an oligonucleotide obtainable from a DNA encoding the polypeptide; an antibody which recognizes the polypeptide; a method for immunohistostaining u...
